After many long years together, this crew is hanging up our raffle tickets and we are passing on this wonderful tournament to Cinde Cassidy’s capable team.
For 30 years this tournament has been all about the kids of Avalon, OUR kids whether or not you have children.
As they say, it takes a village and we could not, would not, have been able to do any of this without the help of this community; the merchants who donate prizes, the sponsors who always come through for us, the anglers who fish each and every year and the families and friends who come out every year to buy raffle tickets, make donations and just have fun with us.
While we are sad to say farewell, we are excited to see where the next crew takes it! We want to thank everyone for all of their support over the years. The kids of Avalon thank you too!
